Our tax services
Expert guidance for every aspect of your taxation in Switzerland
Tax Declarations (Individuals)
We prepare and optimize your tax return, whether you are an employee, self-employed, or a retiree. Our expertise covers all deductions allowed by the cantonal and federal tax authorities, in order to legally reduce your tax burden. Each declaration is reviewed by a specialist before submission.
Withholding Tax & TOU
Withholding tax is deducted directly from the salary of B permit, L permit, or cross-border workers. We analyze your situation to file a Subsequent Ordinary Assessment (TOU) request when it is advantageous, which often allows you to recover several thousand francs. Since 2021, the withholding tax reform has expanded TOU eligibility for many taxpayers.
Cross-Border Taxation
Cross-border workers are subject to complex tax rules arising from the double taxation agreements between Switzerland and France. Depending on your canton of employment, you may be taxed at source in Switzerland or only in France. We guide you to optimize your situation and avoid double taxation, taking into account the Franco-Swiss agreement of April 11, 1983 and its amendments.
New Arrivals
You have just moved to Switzerland and need to understand the Swiss tax system? We guide you from the moment you arrive to file your first tax return, choose your taxation regime, and identify applicable deductions from the very first year. We also explain how withholding tax works and the registration procedures with the cantonal tax authority.
Real Estate & Capital Gains
Real estate taxation in Switzerland includes capital gains tax on property (IBGI), imputed rental value, property tax, and wealth tax. We assist you during the purchase, ownership, or sale of property to optimize your tax burden. We precisely calculate deductions for maintenance costs, mortgage interest, and indirect amortization via pillar 3a.
Inheritance & Gifts
Inheritance and gift taxes vary considerably from one canton to another in Switzerland. Some cantons like Schwyz levy none at all, while others apply progressive rates that can reach 50% for non-relatives. We help you plan the transfer of your assets optimally, taking into account the spousal and direct descendant exemptions provided by cantonal legislation.
Retirement & Pension Planning
The Swiss pension system is built on three pillars: AHV/AVS (1st pillar), occupational pension LPP (2nd pillar), and tied individual pension (pillar 3a). Pillar 3a contributions are deductible from taxable income up to CHF 7,258 for employees affiliated with a 2nd pillar in 2025. We optimize your contributions, LPP buybacks, and staggered withdrawals to minimize the overall tax impact.
Crypto & Foreign Assets
In Switzerland, cryptocurrencies are considered wealth assets and must be declared at their value as of December 31, based on the rates published by the Federal Tax Administration. Capital gains realized by private investors are in principle exempt from tax, but trading activity deemed professional may be taxed as income. We also declare your foreign accounts and assets in compliance with legal obligations.
